| Abstract from DBPedia | A city centre is the commercial, cultural and often the historical, political, and geographic heart of a city. The term "city centre" is primarily used in British English, and closely equivalent terms exist in other languages, such as "centre-ville" in French, Stadtzentrum in German, or shìzhōngxīn (市中心) in Chinese. In the United States, the term "downtown" is generally used, though a few cities, like Philadelphia, use the term "Center City", while others such as Portland use the term “City Center".都心（としん）とは、都市の中心となる場所のこと。 都市再生特別措置法に基づき地方自治体が作成した立地適正化計画では、医療施設、福祉施設、商業施設などの都市機能増進施設の立地を促す区域である都市機能誘導区域 の中心拠点を指して都心とする例がある。 (Source: http://dbpedia.org/resource/City_centre) |
